discussion here. (Reyes v. Kosha (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 451, 466, fn. 6 ["Although our review . . . is de novo, it is limited to issues which have been adequately raised and supported in [the appellant's] brief."].) However, we exercise our discretion to provide our reasons for concluding that, based on the record in this appeal, the special verdict returned by the jury is not ambiguous.
